The Center for Academic Support and Student Success (CASSS) works collaboratively with each Division, as well as Student Life, to ensure a student’s growth, support, and success. The Center functions at the intersection of Academic Affairs, Student Engagement, Enrollment Management, and Success. As a result, students can engage in traditional methods of academic support such as tutoring and mentoring, while experiencing co-curricular activities beyond the traditional scope of academic support.

We provide free:
- quality academic advising
- tutoring
- mentoring, and a host of other services. Our goal is to assist our students with choices of major, career paths, and academic advancement.
If you are a First-Year student at Wilberforce University with < 30 credit hours passed, and/or are an Undeclared major, then your Success Coaches are within CASSS. Please see Ms. Gernisha Parnell for assistance.
